The brown tree snake, an introduced pest species in the central Pacific Islands The brown tree snake, an introduced pest species in the central Pacific Islands
The reproduction of endangered Mariana crows (Corvus kubaryi) is intensively monitored, nests are protected, and (when necessary) eggs or young are moved to the safety of lab conditions until they are less vulnerable to the threats in natural habitats. Barriers on tree trunks and judicious pruning of adjacent trees are used in attempts to exclude snakes from nest trees. Two birds unique...

The orientation and navigation of juvenile alligators: evidence of magnetic sensitivity The orientation and navigation of juvenile alligators: evidence of magnetic sensitivity
Displaced juvenile alligators, Alligator mississipiensis, were released on land in a 9 m diameter dodecagonal arena to test their ability to orient in the absence of terrestrial landmarks. Navigational ability seemed to improve with age. When displaced along a fairly direct route yearlings (age 7–14 months) compensated for their displacement, moving in the direction from the arena to...
